Didn't O'Driscoll come out with the same muck before England hammered Ireland in the 6N?

Most ex-players are poor pundits. I'd give a nod to the whole Eir RWC crew. They picked well with Tommy Bowe, D'arcy, Stringer, Galvin, Considine et al.

I'd be surprised if he makes it to 2023 with them. He's been a great coach for them, but the media storm combined with the fact England tend to turnover coaches at a serious rate, since Clive Woodward's 7 year spell ended in 2004 they've had 5 different head coaches including Eddie.

He'll certainly have left them in great shape. So many young players who are well established now. If someone comes soon they'll have a great palette to work with.

The most frustrating of watches. Nice to see SA given the rub of the green again. Forward pass, de Klerk yellow card missed. Poxy ref

If you need the ref to win the game for you then you've already lost.

Funny how all the talk about SA’s questionable relationship with PEDs has ceased now that they’ve beaten the English.

Ah well, sure there’s no drugs in Rugby, only false positives, that right Jamie?

It's been about fifteen minutes since they beat them.

The game is over 10 minutes, and it's still being discussed by people.

Exact same comments made by Heaslip pre-NZ quarter.

The Iron Giant

Glad there were enough points in it that the potential forward pass wasn't the difference maker.

I must re-read Matt Dawson's article where he stated, not one of the SA players would be good enough to start for England.

They get a fairly savage hammering I’m guessing. If they lost by 7 points in a close encounter it wouldn’t be so bad. Loosing by 20 points not having troubled the South Africa line basically the whole match.... as much credit as South Africa are due it was super apparent that after an hour that England looked shot... out of ideas and out of legs.

They'll get credit for making it to the final. It was a very bad day at the office but what a day to have one.

Apart from all the bitterness on both sides here (the anti-English and the anti anti English) what a performance from South Africa deserved winners and the best team of the tournament. Watched it on ITV and thought they were very unbiased and graceful in defeat.

I wonder how much of a savaging Eddie Jones and his team will get from the English media after this result.
